As Governor Oglesby was about to
step into his private Office Mrs Black
stopped him. She was permitted to
speak few sentences. when the Cover
nor interrupted her with : Excuse me,
Madame, but should like to take care
of this case myself. "
A telling point by the mercy-seekers
was made in the afternoon almost at
the very outset William Urban. repre-
senting the Central Labor Union Of Chi
cagO-ovcr 10000 workingmen-wa at
the moment addressing the Governor.
The shooting of Begely by Pinkerton
men az the stOckyarlo was instanccd by
Urban as q case where murder was COM
mitted by a member of well-knOwn or
ganization-the Pinkerton Agoncy-in
the employ OF another well known or
gani2stiOn--the Packers Union--and
the controlling spirits of the organiza
ton were not held responsible for the
crime OF an individual member. The
plea seemingly interested the Gov
ernor strongly. and he called
for a repetition Of the sentence
concerning the stock-yards murder.
The Governor seemed if possible. to
grow more and more deeply impressed !

renee. and particular solicitudc in OH /

He has given no expression rs TO his in

Governor from Spies this evening. II .

demand.

OF mine in connection with the labor

TRYING TO PROVE LINGG INSANE.
CHICAGO, November 9.-Dr James &.
Kirnan, former warden OF the Cook
county hospital for the insane filed
petition in the County Court to-day,
charging the fact to be that Louis IinPg,
the rabid Anarchistic bomb-maker IN
der sentence Of death. is insane, and
that it would be for the benefit and safe
" Of the community that he be confined
in the State hospital for the insane. he
usual formal notice was served on state &
Attorney GriDnell about ] o'clock II
simply informed the latter that a motion
for n writ commanding him to bring
Louis Iingg before the CONT for trial
for insanity had been iled.
At2 o'clock. when the hearing Of the
argument on the petition was to begin,
Judge Prendergast announced that he
would not hear the application until
after the Criminal Court had passed on it.
"-Messrs. Hunt and Virnan late this
afternoon went to the Criminal Court
and fled petition for inquirlug into
LincQ's sanity with the clerk, after which
they sought Judge Bakers courtroom
10 lay the matter before him and ask him
10 interfere. The Judge Was not ID, and
they went out on the street 10 find him.
In case they do not succeed in getting
the case before Judge Baker to night
they will appear before HIM tomorrow
morning.
THE SITUATION At THE JAIL.
The Anarchists were not allowed out
side their cells to day. Nina Van Handt
appeared, but was denied permission to
SEQ Spies. Mrs Engel. however was
granted an interview with her husband
All interest belonging to the tate OF
the doomed men has been transferred TO
Springfield. Most Of their sympathzers
and their counsel are ont of town inter
ceding with the Governor. 1t Is the
general belief that nothing final will be
heard from Springfield before tomorrow.
The Anarchists made no inquiry nor did
tbev exchange any words with each other
at all during the day. All over town
quiet hut effective workers were en-
Paged in attending to the multitude
of arrangements that may have
something to do with the hanging.
The water-works are being guarded, so
are many of the big buildings down
town. New wires have been strung from
the Jail to the Chicago Avenue police
station. Another special wire has been
put up between the jail and the Central
police station, eud still another wire be
tween the Jail and the Harrson-Street
police station. Should there happen to
he an uprising of any proportions and
the officials do not expect any, ample
means are available to check IT.
SPIES AS A MARTYR.
A little before noon Spies called Mr..
Osborne. the death. watch, to his cell.
The Anarchist wanted to talk jus, to re-
lieve the horrible tedium. He talked
earnestly and at considerable length;
MIR. Osborne said Spies and others had
strong hopes that the Governor would
interfere and prevent the execution.
Spies, Mr.. Osborne said, regarded HIM
